You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…” Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just a bad product. Well, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see if we cannot repeat these errors again. Oh yeah, why 16? Well because we could.

It’s almost impossible to look at any news site without seeing another puff piece for Microsoft’s newest attempt to become a player in internet search, Bing, which, according to the link, is coming soon. I unhesitatingly predict that it will be the Cuil of 2009. Remember Cuil?

I am reminded of the Billy Joel tune “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. In the song he chronicles history in about 4 minutes 40 seconds. The chorus says “We didn’t start the fire, It was always burning since the world’s been turning. Well, we DID start the Internet, and we DID start Web 2.0 and Social Networking. Now it’s ignited and it’s time to fight it. With new ideas coming out daily and web sites popping up left and right, it’s confusing to know what is going to be the next big thing and what’s gonna fizzle. Better yet, whats...

MXL 770 FET Microphone

I use this MXL style microphone for my shows. It brings the best features of any voice forward, and makes it easier for post-editing (or no editing at all). Best sub-$100 microphone around.

Sony PJ-790E Handycam with Projector.

This consumer handheld camera is great for getting any shot. You can adjust focus, exposure, white balance, IRIS, and more to get a look and feel to your podcast. The built in projector allows you to present what you just recorded!

From Amazon

If you are looking for the best set top box for streaming media, Roku has everything you need! Over 800 channels with thousands of hours of content, and even games! Perfect for a cord cutter to get Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus or another service.

Getting into video production? I use Movie Studio to edit a lot of my projects. Movie Studio Platinum 13 allows you to cut and paste clips together, add graphics, chromakey, and even bring in loops and royalty free music in the background (which you can also get at Sony Creative website).

Luke continued to have some technical problems with his webcam. He even switched to the Windows machine with no luck. Of course, we work through the show like always. I show off a new device that I got over the weekend. Luke talks about his speaking gig as well – at least when he can. […]

If you feel you talk too fast when you are podcasting, here is a great way to slow your speaking down. Get a metronome – one that either has a headphone jack or can pulse a LED light. There are even iPhone and Android Metronome apps out there you can install and use. A normal […]

You love what you do so much that you decide to either podcast about or get on other podcasts to talk about, your passion. It’s a great gig until you make one little slip-up. Next thing you know, you’re in the HR office as someone else is clearing your desk. It happens in Social Media – […]

2008 – Dan Kaminsky announced he has been in contact with Microsoft over a flaw in the DNS naming system. At this time, there were no other details as to keep this issue as secret as possible while they try to fix the problem. On March 27, Kaminsky discovered that within the Conficker virus, the hosts […]

It has been a crazy couple of weeks in sports. From the Cowboys signing Greg Hardy, to Stephen Gerrard making a 45 second appearance before getting a Red Card against Man U, to all of March Madness, to Kevin Durant being sidelined for the rest of the season. The NBA season is coming to a […]

We have lost many great talents over the years. The loss of Leonard Nimoy is, for me, one that transcends the benign passive grief of someone famous. His was such an iconic personality, for both science fiction and science. He was, I feel, the living embodiment of his most memorable onscreen persona. There was so […]
